All We Have is Time

1605, London. Beatrix lives a solitary life in the shadows, wandering the city streets looking for ways to forget. Forget that everyone she has ever loved has been dead for nearly a century. Forget that, for her, love can only ever mean loss. Because Beatrix has a secret: a lifetime ago her deathbed wish was granted, making her immortal.

Until one day, whilst picking pockets amidst the raucous crowds of The Globe Theatre, she meets Oliver. They spend a single, perfect day together before he tells her that he has to leave. She’s not surprised; eternity is a lonely place.

When Beatrix and Oliver meet again by chance a century later, recognition hits her like a bolt of lightning. It’s impossible. He’s impossible. Just like her. A chance for Beatrix to truly live – and love – again sparks into existence.

Yet their bond will prove more magical than either thought possible: whilst Beatrix may be over two centuries old, Oliver won’t be born for another four hundred years...

About Amy Tordoff

Amy Tordoff has always been drawn to stories, both discovering them in the history of others and imagining them in to life. She attended the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY, where she completed her thesis in screenwriting and graduated with honors with a BFA in Film. When she’s not writing, Amy enjoys people watching in the abundant Colorado sunshine, knitting her own sweaters, and sharing trivial facts learned in the name of writing research. All We Have is Time is her first novel.
